The Woodruff Arts Center also ranks among the top four arts centers in the nation. Also known as the Woodruff Center for the Performing Arts it is the pulse for the vibrant Atlanta Arts Community offering both traditional and avant-garde art.

The Woodruff Arts Center is one of Atlanta’s Premier Venues and is unique because it joins four different venues on one campus that operate as a not-for-profit organization. Currently, the Woodruff Arts Center is home to the Alliance Theatre, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the High Museum of Art and Young Audiences. The Alliance Theatre is now entering its 41st year and considered by many to be the premier Theatre in the Southeast.

With over 11,000 works of art in its permanent collection, the High Museum of Art has an extensive anthology of 19th- and 20th-century American art; significant holdings of European paintings and decorative art; a growing collection of African American art; and burgeoning collections of modern and contemporary art, photography and African art.
